Abstract

There is disclosed a control system which may include a seat having a pelvis angle sensor to provide positional information indicative of an operator' s pelvis angle in a frontal plane. The positional information provided by the pelvis angle sensor may be used to control, at least in part, a device.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 16 June 2009 (16.06.09)
1. A control system (200), comprising: a seat (220) including: a left seat (222L) and a right seat (222R) supported on respective suspension systems (224L, 224R) that allow independent vertical motion of the left and right seats, and a pelvis angle sensor (242) to provide positional information indicative of the angle of an operator's pelvis in a frontal plane based on the relative vertical positions of the left and right seats a device (260) controlled, at least in part, by the positional information provided by the pelvis angle seftsor.
2. The control system of claim L, wherein the controlled device is a vehicle the positional information provided by the pelvis angle sensor is used to control, at least in part, the operation of the vehicle.
3. The control system of claim 2, wherein the positional information provided by the pelvis angle sensor is Used to control the steering of the vehicle.
4. The control system of claim 1 , wherein the controlled device is a computing device (460) running an application, the positional information provided by the pelvis angle sensor controls, at least in part, the application.
5. The control system of claim 4, wherein the application program is a simulation of a physical activity performed by a simulated person the positional information provided by the pelvis angle sensor controls the pelvis angle of the simulated person.
6. The control system of claim 1 , further comprising at least one additional sensor selected from the group consisting of a torso angle sensor (244) to provide positional information indicative of the angle of the operator's torso on one, two, or three axis, thigh angle sensors (446L, 346R) to provide positional information indicative of the angles of the operator's thighs on one, two, or three axis, and knee angle sensors (348L, 348R) to provide positional information indicative of the angles of the operators knees on one or two axis wherein the positional information provided by the at least one additional sensor controls, at least in part, the device,
7. The control system of claim 4, further comprising a display device coupled to the computing device to provide feedback to the operator,
8. The control system of claim 1 wherein at least a portion of the seat is wearable.
9. A method for controlling a device (240), comprising: providing a seat (200) for an operator, the seat including a left seat (222L) and a right seat (222R) supported on respective suspension, systems (224L, 224R) that allow independent vertical motion of the left and right seats sensing positional information (585) indicative of an angle of an operator's pelvis in a frontal plane based on the relative vertical positions of the left and right seats controlling tho device (590), at least in part, with the positional information.
10. The method for controlling a device of claim 9, wherein the device is a vehicle controlling the device further comprises using the positional information to control, at least in part, the steering of the vehicle.
11. The method for controlling a device of claim 9, wherein the controlled device is computing device running an application controlling the device further comprises using the positional information to control, at least in part, the application*
12. The method for controlling a device of claim 11 , wherein the application is a simulation of a physical activity performed by a simulated person the positional information is used to control the angle of the pelvis of the simulated person.
13. The method for controlling a device of claim 9; further comprising sensing additional positional information with at least one sensor selected from the group consisting of a torso angle sensor to provide positional information indicative of the angle of the operator's torso on one, two, or three axis, thigh angle sensors to provide positional information indicative of the angles of the operator's thighs on one, two, or three axis, and knee angle sensors to provide positional information indicative of the angles of the operator's knees on one or two axis using additional positional information to control, at least in part, the device.
14. The method for controlling a device of claim 9, further comprising providing feedback to the operator wherein the feedback provided to the operator includes at least one of the group consisting of an image on a display device, audible sounds, and tactile sensations.
